Fill in the BLANKS

We all have solved the question fill in the blanks when we were in school. Very easy and straight forward question as good as handy marks. Just read the chapter from book, and all set to get all marks….but life is not as straight and simple as our exams. Just by simply reading the books these blanks won’t be filled up….

            We do always think about these blanks…How to fill/complete them, and make plans for them…but it wont get execute as per our plans, and then we realize that whatever we are thinking as blanks, are actually not blanks. There is something….!
Its just matter of fact that we have not realized it yet.

            After realization, days pass …happily…and life goes on, by its own pace. We are following our routine. Same office, same road, and same tea at tapari…everything same, because we don’t have any other option. Problems do come; situation changes and we solve our problems… sometimes by habit, sometimes by our own intelligence, or sometimes by fighting with boss. Once we got the solution on the problem, we feel proud; feel happy and start following the same routine.

            We realize that, these thing affecting our health…but still the same. Because we don’t know how to avoid these. Life is changing and causing increase in stress, emotional imbalance.  People are moving apart, discussion is almost end. We know all these things. We are experiencing them around ourselves. Experts say all theses causes hypertension, mental disorder, and psychological problems. But we are great; we know we would never face such things.

            And then one day we come to know that one of our friends of same age has high blood pressure. Doctor diagnosed as Stress. Friend’s high blood pressure or any other, these are physical disorder; but the 90% reason behind that is psychological and that’s why we are more frightened. We know that if we come across any physical pressure, we can overcome it. We can go gym, can do exercise or yoga or go for morning walk. But what about the mind, how to release this mental pressure?

            Then we remember the concept of ‘weekend’, like western people (or our clients have). Those people do something new; go out for long drive, parties, picnics…Since Friday morning when weekends start, and because of that most of the people left early, its observed that on Friday these people do more work than usual days.

            I do agree that we also enjoy our weekends, but our society or lifestyle or our condition, don’t afford or allow us to do this every weekend.
            There are some problems…and because of that we suffer inside. Not because of problems but we are not able to do things what we want to do and un-necessarily stressed out.

            Look, don’t think and cry about what we don’t have, but think on how to enjoy whatever we have.

           Don’t think that whether these blanks in our life are good or bad. Some people try hard to fill these blanks. Some people cry, because they don’t have these blanks in their life. These blanks mean our loneliness. Most of the people don’t understand how to fill them and they move apart from people unknowingly.

            How to fill these blanks? People say that they don’t get time from their work. Not even small break. Accept this festive season as small break. Though we don’t get official holidays from office, but these long weekend or two days of weekend, take this as break.

There is only need to think differently. Remember this small routine change give us the energy to work more efficiently. Because one thing is sure that if this small change from our busy life is not giving us energy then we have not find the hikers in our office, who climbs high up on weekend and after returning, work more efficiently.

There are lots of things to do in life, and for that it’s the time to think differently.
